The county first authorized the issuance of $22.5 million in general obligation bonds for the Colonial Elementary project in March 2018. The county’s economic development authority is heading up the project and negotiating with contractors on behalf of the school system.

The Hazaribagh tanneries make up between 90 and 95 percent of all tanneries in Bangladesh.[4] There are a handful of tanneries in Bangladesh outside Hazaribagh, located in other areas of Dhaka, as well as Jessore and Chittagong. This report does not address those tanneries.

The worst of the stock 500’s handling problems all come from the pedestrian Panda’s rear end. But the Abarth gets an anti-roll bar squeezed into its date and the differences are immediate. Over any mid-sized and even large bump, the Abarth just hunkers down and goes. And goes hard.

I looked this up when more awake, and realized that there are a number of steels with a yield strength under 70K PSI. I have been using the assumption that 70K PSI was the minimum for quite a while.

One detailed study published in 1999 analyzed wastewater samples taken directly from 47 tanneries. The results showed extremely elevated levels of chromium, chloride, lead, sulfates, sulfides, nitrates, and zinc in the effluent. For example, wastewater from one particular tannery had a biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) reading of 3,600 mg/L (against Bangladesh’s quality standard for tannery effluent of 100 mg/L) and a chemical oxygen demand (COD) reading of 9,300 mg/L (against a standard of 200 mg/L). High BOD and COD readings mean there is less oxygen in the water, which causes aquatic life to suffocate and die.[16] This tannery’s wastewater contained concentrations vastly in excess of permitted standards: chromium (4,043 mg/L, against a standard of 2 mg/L), chloride (45,000 mg/L, against a standard of 600 mg/L), lead (1.944 mg/L, against a standard of 0.1 mg/L), and sulfide (145 mg/L, against a standard of 1 mg/L).[17]

Opening the door is enough to know this isn’t just another grown-up toy of a Cinquecento. It’s far more masculine that the stock car, with a thick-rimmed, flat-bottomed steering wheel, leather seats with impressive bolstering and aluminium pedal facings.

Many children are working in tanneries because of poverty. Some, although not all, have come to Dhaka from rural areas with their families to work.[166] Others live in tanneries.[167] For some tannery managers, the children represent a cheaper source of labor. “They use them because they can pay them less and because they’re young they will do anything they’re asked to,” Jhuki, a tannery worker in his mid-20s, said of the children working in his tannery.[168]

What I noticed about the test: when you pull *on the rod* with a vise-grip, the rod will be deformed (flattened) tremendously. Thus the epoxy between aluminum and carbon fiber might have been loosened. Why did you not pull with the vise-grip on the aluminum insert at the *other* end and use the same glue on both ends? One rod with epoxy and one with super glue, like you did with the non-glued version. Then you can also use a safer ‘pulling mechanism’, like a screw or a car jack, where pieces of metal cannot flynin your face.

In addition to unregulated industrial pollution, studies from as early as the 1990s identified other issues covered by this report. They include:

Yes. I think what we mentioned last time was about $120 million to $130 million, if you recollect. And as one of you actually correctly reminded me that, that is only a mark-to-mark gain and it’s not really an accrued gain. And every quarter, as we do, it gets valued. And when you sell, whatever is the exact price and whatever is the sort of the block discount applicable or any other deductions, the number will always be different quarter-to-quarter and that’s exactly what we discussed in the last call. So cumulatively, we have made above $100 million. And as I mentioned, this is about 70% from an IRR perspective because out of the principal of approximately $550 million, we had only paid up about $300 million to $320 million original and one more installment later. So the objectives — the alternative was a 2% [FD] for that money — surplus money. So I think objective is achieved, [roundup.] And hopefully, this also sort of clarifies our position what we have been maintaining in the last 2 quarters.

Q: I have a project that requires welding 6061-T6 extrusions to themselves and to 6061-T6 sheet. My local welding distributor says that I can use either 4043 or 5356 filler metal, but this doesn’t make sense to me. Isn’t 5356 stronger?
